This is for my 10th Grade English literature students, but may be used by any other students doing the same types of things. I would love for students or teachers at other schools to read and comment!!! Maybe our students can start some communicating back and forth.

Summer Update

Hi everyone! I hope you are all relaxing, resting and enjoying your summer! I've been pretty busy so far. Next week I will be going to a 3 day conference in Ellicottville to learn some new and exciting things to use in our classroom next year. I'm also eagerly awaiting the installation of the great Promethean board!! I cannot wait to use it!!

Please drop me a comment and let me know how things are going for you! Read any good books yet??!!! I'm in the middle of a very long Stephen King book called Duma Key!

Yea Ariel!! My first summer comment (from someone other than my own children!!)The conference was great. I've learned all sorts of new things! I was soooo proud of Jim at the conference! There we both were sitting in front of 300 people having to talk into a microphone! I think I was more nervous than he was!I think for next year I'm going to do brand new blogs and have separate ones for 10th and 11th grade. Enjoy the rest of your summer - it's going way too fast!!Mrs. Aronow

Hi Aronow,I have posted some pictures on my blog. We are still unpacking and getting organized. We are making this place our own. I think that's what Cheryl said. We have done minor repairs, painting and buying furniture at moving sales. We still get out to the beach and the pool. They start school here in about three weeks.
